Creating a timelapse- D750

adventures_with_brunettej said:

Hello all,

I recently bought a Nikon D750 for the full intend of creating timelapses. I recently took several shots with my new camera but I want to see what each photo looks like before I process the timelapse.

I am also a Canon user so I am used to uploading each image to lightroom and then creating the timelapse myself.

With the Nikon it is uploading the files into a mov file. How can I upload the photos instead of the movie file.

Can I do this in Lightroom or do I need to process them in LRTimelapse program ( need to buy the program). Is there another recommend timelapse program. I am using an Apple Desktop/laptop if that helps.

Thank you for helping out.

I think it is easiest to think of it as 2 ways to do timelapses: #1 Time lapse movie (A "finished" product, a movie), and , #2 Individual photos to stitch together in a software program. I say "finished" for the movie because the movie can be edited of course.

I personally like #1. It's available in the movie menu and has a lot of options and the results are really nice. Just like when shooting video you want to set your video resolution, frame rate etc. as if shooting a video.

But if you prefer #2, then use "interval shooting" (photo shooting menu) which also has tons of options. Think of them as two separate things found in 2 separate menus and things will be pretty simple (other than figuring out exactly what settings to use ha ha). Remember not to mix the two methods (use only one a time) because you may find one of them greyed out (also one can be greyed out if exposure changing options such HDR, exposure bracketing or a few other things I can't remember are enabled).

I suppose one could also use a software program to take a timelapse video (#1) and try to de-stich the individual frames. I assume that is possible but have never tried.

My recommendation is to try method #1 at least a couple times even if that is not your normal workflow just to see how it works and to see if it can give you what you want with less work. You may not like it and use #2 instead but it might surprise you and at least that way you will know #2 is the best method for you.

I think you want interval timer, not a time lapse (ready made) movie.

If the only files you see on your card are .mov, then you shot a prerendered movie. In order to take separate photos for building a timelapse yourself you'll need to shoot in interval mode, then stick the files into lightroom for batch editing, then import them into the timelapse software of your choosing.
